I think my house made my infant terribly ill

January 15, 2009

Hello everyone I just joined this group yesterday. I think this might

be a long shot for our problem with our son but from the things I

have been reading you never know. Here goes....

About 3 years ago my husband and I bought and older home built in the

70's. At the time it was just the two of us and our small dog. A few

months after we moved in our dog started to have seizures and

breathing issues. We took him to the vet and they stated that it was

normal that some dogs just had issues like that(so we thought). This

was just the beginning of our nightmare.

Through out the years in the house I would get headaches on and off

and recently its been alot of them. But in 2007 I got pregnant with

our son, I had him a month early because I was always sick. He was

born healthy and developed normally until 3 months he started having

seizures too! In March 2008 he was 4 months and spent a whole month

in the hospital, he wouldn't eat, he wouldn't look at us, wouldn't

smile, he was basically a ragdoll. The doctors couldn't give us any

explanation as to why he developed seizures or asthma or lost all his

developmental milestones. In March my gut feeling as a mom told me

that it was something in my house because what were the odds of my

dog moving in and started having seizures and now my son develops

seizures and other issues! It's about to be a year and my son is

15months old and he is still having seizures and trying to catch up

on his milestones. The doctors in two childrens hospitals still have

no explanation to all of his illnesses. But the odd thing is that

everytime we leave the house for a week or two he does great and

learns something new like to sit or stand and even crawl! He hasn't

learned anything when he is at home. Could it be mold or some sort of

toxin causing him and my dog all these symptoms? or am I just going

nuts? It's getting to the point where I just want to move out and

find a new home far away from this ship channel where the refineries

are and see if he does better with cleaner air and a new home. Please

I would like some imput, I'm trying to do whats best for my son.
